Shoe Conspiracy

More Damning Anti-Shoe Material, the same old really, but I do find myself wondering if the Chiropodists are in league with the shoe manufacturers.

The End of the Internet

Saturday 0205hrs

Some French sounding people (Canadians I think) talk about the end of the internet.
They are not blowing hot air here and if enough lethargic devils don’t get off their arses and out of their chairs and actually actively DO something, the hard reality of corporate control over what is quite probably the 8th wonder of the world will come to pass.

The mentality of people who say “Ahh it’ll never happen” is the same one shared by the people who sat back and watched Kristellnacht.

In the words of the great Immortal Technique (From Poverty of Philosophy),

You cannot change the past but you can make the future, and anyone who tells you different is a Fucking lethargic devil.

Amen that man.

Buy Meat from your Local Butcher. Buy Meat from your Local Butcher. Buy Meat from your Local Butcher. Buy Meat from your Local Butcher. Buy Meat from your Local Butcher. Buy Meat from your Local Butcher. Buy Meat from your Local Butcher. Buy Meat from your Local Butcher. Buy Meat from your Local Butcher. Buy Meat from your Local Butcher. Buy Meat from your Local Butcher. Buy Meat from your Local Butcher.

Because Supermarkets are dirty profit mongering whores.

Soon most butchers will be closed due to low profits, most grocers will have gone and most independant dairies crushed by supermarket demand. Most people nowadays have never eaten good bacon, know what should be in a sausage or even say “Hello” to the person behind the counter who serves them. it’s a joke, a sick tragedy and a loss that will not be recouped further down the line.

Don’t be retards. Buy Meat from your Local Butcher.

Compare and Contrast

Friday 1136hrs

A brief stutter out of inactivity to bring two lovely links to you. The word for today (And most likely a long time to come and for a long time past…) is Hypocrisy.

First off we have : America weaponising space in an attempt to “Deny adverdaries access to orbit”. I didn’t think anyone owned that, but there you go, obviously the USA thinks it does and has the budget to make that a reality.

Anyhow, skirting around the implications of that article (Which would probably make for a good post in isolation) we get to the second post that highlights the word of the Era… Chinese Anti-Satellite Test.

If you’re a little slow I’m just trying to point out that the media and government would like you to believe that only white men should have spaceships and/or the right to poke their nose, in glorious high res detail, into the lives of people in other countries and/or guide their expensive missiles into hospitals and daycare centres with pinpoint accuracy.

What they’re missing here is that there has been and arms race running all along, it’s just that because “Their Team was winning (Think white, wealthy and wealthy) it didn’t occur to them. The hare has been out in the lead for so long he’s forgotten why that tortoise is following him, or why the tortoise is riding a Segway. A hopped up, supercharged, submersible Segway with offroad wheels, nuclear arms and anti-satellite missiles.

I have no doubt every nation on earth wants to feel safe, and it’s down (unfortunately) to the people in power to ensure that this safety is reached together and in co-operation, rather than in animosity. M.A.D. only keeps you safe so long as no-one pushes the button.

Short post to bring your attentions to a track called “The Underwear Goes Inside the Pants” by someone called Lazyboy.

Simlpe, funny, effective, poignant. I’d buy the album.

Passion, the lack thereof.

Wednesday 0305hrs

I sincerely wish I had enough passion or interest in anything that would motivate me to attain a greater-than-mediocre level in said subject. I also wish that I’d know how appalling mediocrity is when I was a kid, so I could have taken the approach of this fellow… I give you, Canon in D, Rock Style.

Peak Oil. Humour.

Wednesday 1523hrs

It’s humerous, but it’s quite on target.
Peakoil Sketch

My favorite bit, unsurprisingly, is the comment about US policy…

In 1973 the house subcomitee on foreign relations published a report called “Oilfields as Military Objectives – A Feasibility Study”, now known as “An American plan to bring democracy to the Middle East.

The followup to that is amusing, go listen, find out.

Love it.
